While making a map in hammer, if i go to far away from a prop (static) it becomes a blank box, but when i go near it again, it returns to being viewed as a prop. Is there any way I can make it so it is contantly viewed as a prop? Thanks

When I press z to look around the map in hammer, moving the mouse a millimetre will change the viewing angle drastically. Furthermore, it only moves in one direction so I am unable to move back. Any help?

Hello TF2Maps.net, I have looked up many tutorials on this, and i have not been able to get it to rain on my tf2 map. func_precipitate doesn't want to work for me for some reason, the map just loads fine but without any rain. What is the proper way of making it rain?

If you had seen my previous thread, you'll know that I have been having trouble with displacements not being rendered when they should. Eventually I gave up and went to bed. Now having slept on it, I began thinking. While it is capable of a great many things, we know that the hammer editor can...

So, my Hammer crashed and once I entered back into it, several textures were wrong. Whenever I run the map, the textures are still how they should be. I have no idea how to fix this, I've tinkered around things and searched the internet, but I still could not figure out the problem. The image...

Hello everyone. I recently began mapping and i'm currently working on a KOTH map that I later plan on turning onto a 5cp map. Anyways, the point is on the bridge which goes over a 256 hammer unit deep ravine (cylinder). My question is 2 fold. How do I make curving ramps going up to the...

Hi everyone, pretty new to this whole site so excuse me if I missed anything else I could have done before posting this. I'm trying to do my first compile of my Mayann themed KOTH map, but every compile results in a skybox error, missing vertex data error and "The system cannot find the file...

I just booted up Hammer Editor, and when I went to select my map save, it gets to 5% and then just crashes. It was working fine yesterday

So I haven't really used the decal tool before and I was trying stuff out, I ended up using a custom texture as a decal but it was a little bit too big, so I thought I had removed it, but I guess I didn't. When I go on hammer and look at where the decal "is" I see nothing, it all just looks...
